I provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive immigration psychological evaluations for individuals navigating complex legal processes. My approach focuses on creating a safe, respectful space where clients feel heard and supported while sharing difficult experiences. I take time to understand each person’s cultural background, migration history, and current stressors. With over eight years of experience in trauma-focused care and ongoing work with individuals and families living with PTSD and complex PTSD, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience as an immigrant and refugee to my work. I collaborate with legal teams and approach each evaluation with care and integrity.
